Not so much - he's actually typically been one of the smaller LHWs fighting at 184ish - his 188lbs against Hopkins was his heaviest by a margin - that said he's acknowledged he is has having to work harder at it in the last year or so (typically for a guy hitting his 30s).
Regardlesss, he has said several times that he can't or won't move down.
Golovkin ain't big for a MW either, though his fight weights (like Sergeis) have slowly, but steadily been climbing in the last coupla years. I think Golovkin has the talent to manage very well right up to the top ranks at 168, but I'm unsure if 175 is a step to far.
That said, I still feel GGG is the technically more polished fighter, though I wish he'd get a fukkin move on and fight someone who could really test him so he can show what he's actually capable of.
